i just went through this. take a look at the /etc/mail/sendmail.mc file
for this line:
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')
you can either change it to:
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=0.0.0.0, Name=MTA')
or comment it out (i think that will work)
and then rerun m4 on the file

Ok, I did that. I edited the sendmail.mc, commenting the correct line and it
works now. My question now, will this make my machine vulnerable to be an
open relays for spammer? How do I prevent that?
Any help or pointer to documentations will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

This was done to reduce the number of open relay
I would venture to guess your having the same problem i had. In RHL 7.2
Redhat made it so sendmail will not get mail from anyone but itself.
This was done as i understand for some security reason, not sure.
You need to edit the file: /etc/sendmail.cf
In that file you will see a line like this

Hello,
It seems that my machine cannot receive mail from outside. I am in LAN
network, and my machine has its name from DHCP, which stays the same. I tried
to change the file /etc/mail/local-host-names and add my machine name there:
machine_name.domain.edu
and restart sendmail, but no result.

Isn't there like name_allow and relay_allow and ip_allow files you have to
modify to suit in /etc/mail?
Problably talking from where the sun don't shine, but I have those files
filled with my local address information.

Joe,
This may or may not help, but I believe that the sendmail configuration file
under the old setup (6.2 and previous) used sendmail.cw as the default file for
declaring the domains to receive mail on your server. 7.0 doesn't. You have to
add the following line[s] to sendmail.mc, and then reb

About a month ago I did a clean install of RHL7 on my server at home. One
of the things I did before I wiped it out was backing up my copies of

Appears to be a sendmail configuration problem. Try adding the line

Here's an odd problem.
I'm set up as user "jil" on my work domain "pump.aecom.yu.edu".
I can "ping" that address without difficulty.
The account can be fingered.
However, all mail sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] bounces.
It nearly drove my husband nuts today.
The mail comes back with a 550 "we do
